Janus wins Over AFSCME
The United States Supreme Court has ruled charging Fair Share Dues to unionized public employees is ILLEGAL! A violation of the 1st Amendment.
This will be the end of AFCSME and Teamsters Local 320 if they don't begin representing their members like the MNPEA does! I predict their membership will plummet like happened in Wisconsin after it became a Right to Work State.
I am, and have always been pro-Union, however, when a Union stops representing members and spends all of the member resources supporting politicians rather than members, those members have a right to leave.
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
No. 16–1466 MARK JANUS, PETITIONER v. AMERICAN FEDERATION OF STATE, COUNTY, AND MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEES, COUNCIL 31, ET AL. ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT [June 27, 2018]
JUSTICE ALITO delivered the opinion of the Court. Under Illinois law, public employees are forced to subsidize a union, even if they choose not to join and strongly object to the positions the union takes in collective bargaining and related activities. We conclude that this arrangement violates the free speech rights of nonmembers by compelling them to subsidize private speech on matters of substantial public concern
